Default Asbestos vacuum cleaning

Okay, so you removed some asbestos roof tiles. What's the big whoop.
How do you even know you have asbestos in the house? Just follow the
stardard protocal for people working with asbestos tiles. You need to
strip naked in the driveway and hose yourself off before going in your
house. Then throw away the clothing.

Assuming they are regular roofing shingles (not the hard tiles) you are
perfectly okay.

If you want to be paranoid about anything, try these items:
1. Do you have the permits, etc. to dispose of the shingles so you are
not creating an environmental liability that will haunt you for the
rest of your short, cancerous life.
2. Have you had your house checked for lead. That's probably a bigger
problem.
3. Have you had your house checked for radon, the silent killer.
4. What about carbon monoxide? Do you have a sensor?
5. You know that soap you are using is basically made of fat and
drano, don't you? Where did you think soap came from, a soap tree?
6. Yum Yum, steak with extra steroids!
7. That bluetooth headset you wear is putting out radio waves that
will fry your brain. So will you cell phone. Why are you putting a
radio transmitter right next to your brain? Oh yeah, another bright
idea is to store it in your front pocket.
8. Every time you go into a public building, think to yourself "this
was built by the lowest bidder".
9. How come milk and bottled water costs more than gasoline, but we
only complain about the gasoline?
10. All of your petty worries are building up and not looking so
petty. You are becoming paranoid. But how will you know when it
becomes too bad, because you can't trust anyone to tell you.

So okay. Sit down; have a cup of strong coffee with real cream in it;
lite up a cigarette; and relax. The asbestos won't kill you until
tomorrow.

OK, then you're just paranoid. Washing the clothing would have removed
probably 99.99999% of any fibers that may have been there. You are over
reacting. Really,


Yeah, I know that. It's so easy to freak out after reading many bad
stories about asbestos.
